Islington has decided this application; the outcome above is the register's own wording and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.

  Request to add a lead capping to the external cornice at the very top of our house, as advised by our surveyor. Our cornice is failing due to prolonged exposure to the elements, and would benefit (after a like-for-like refurbishment) from this protection. This lead capping would run across the length of our external cornice, where the house looks out onto Clerkenwell Close - as our neighbours at the Crown Tavern already have installed. The lead capping will not be visible from ground level, and would be unlikely to be conspicuous from a height as the facade is already painted in a grey tone.
